I noticed VTEC wasn't hitting as hard as it used to and the motor was a little louder, so I checked oil level. Lower than low! It kinda got me worried all the times I ran it when the oil level was low. I added some more and now it runs pretty well. VTEC hits like it used to and the motor quieted down. Any of you guys know how much the motor wears out if we ride it with oil in the low range?

My recipe for low oil consumption:
Break in F20C in properly for first 750 miles;
Change oil at 5K miles;
Never give keys to valet;
Never give keys to anyone else;
Switch to synthetic at 7.5K miles;
Fresh oil/filter every ~2500 miles after that;
Redline engine at least 10 times a day;
Never drop over or under high/low marks.
I burn maaayyybbbeee 1/2 qt. between oil changes.
